The Chosen Dunn can brook no interlopers in his 'old-man-terrible-defense-mash-taters' game. Unless I could draft 2014 Manny Ramirez, in which case my plan to completely eliminate outfield defense would be complete.

edit: I am fairly sure it is not possible to draft ManRam. If it is, I guess I will edit his name out to be Nick Punto or something.

I think Manny still technically has to serve his suspension if he wants to play, right?

Speaking of which, I'm not going to edit any current suspensions, so don't draft those guys (unless you don't care about them missing however much time they're going to miss). If the game tries to auto one of them to someone I'll just edit their ratings to be terrible so it won't bring them up.

Will he be replaced? That'd be 2 auto-picks in the first 4 rounds, for gently caress's sake.

I've been strict on following the rules I set, so no, he has to miss two consecutive picks.

Granted, if he gets skipped and Pander picks quickly then it'll happen basically instantly.

Actually, because you can technically define skipped as "having someone after you making their pick" it would have to be after washington picks.

So Zodiac stay around because if Pander picks while HAL is skipped from the previous round, it'll be your pick that skips him.

Pander posted:

Zodiac picked at 11:03 EST, so he will be out of time at 3:03 EST (a little more than one hour from now).

After changing my name and deets, and I'm sure being skipped and reassigned, I'd just like to make the official announcement:

This is super fun but my computer broke and my phone was right behind it so I currently have no way to post outside of the little windows I get during the work day.

I hope that whomever the Pirates have been contracted to does them right, and sorry for throwing a wrench in the gears!

Did you change it this morning? Because I swear when I looked earlier to see your last post you were still HAL9100.

Anyway, mentholmoose has 24 hours to claim the Pirates.

Zodiac if you could give him an hour to make picks if Pander makes his before moose has a chance to I would appreciate it.

PM your pick to me or something; I won't be up for another 25 or so slots so it's highly unlikely I'd be poaching your dude.

So how awful were my picks? I spent a lot of time picking between several puntos before settling on this mix of offense (both are good hitters) and defense (Gordon good, Pence bad).

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and be a llama?



Eh, I think they're okay. Might be a little early for either of them, simply because corner outfield isn't a terribly scarce postion, and I dunno if either of these guys are really elite enough to be worth taking over some other puntos on the board. Part of that is me not being much of a fan of Alex Gordon though.

It's not so much the picks you've made, but rather the ones you have not made. I know you're in Colorado and pitching there is gonna be a crapshoot, but pitching is going to get pretty thin pretty fast.

I guess that was a little unclear, yes. The name change and 4th/5th pick were meant to be this weekend after I had this avatar commissioned, and then the technological apocalypse befell my household.

I'm trying to be a good-hitting-while-solid-defense-and-zero-pitching Rockies team. Like Rockies teams SHOULD be.

I wouldn't draft pitching if I literally didn't have to.

Projection systems love the gently caress out of Gordon for his defense. I think he's actually the "most valuable" LF in BP 2014. I kinda wish I knew where my copy was now.

I don't know if anyone who's seen a Pence AB can call him a "good hitter," but he is quite productive on offense!

Yeah, he's one of the most valuable left fielders over the last several seasons. He's a good pick.

The joke is that Pence has an extremely silly stance/swing. I'm sure he'll do fine for you.
